Lympstone Manor

Having cemented its status as the epitome of comfort, exclusivity and luxury, Michael Caines’ modern take on the country house hotel continues to dazzle.

Lympstone Manor’s star status remains steadfast, having been awarded five AA rosettes, two prestigious Michelin Keys, a Michelin star and an AA Notable Wine List Award, plus being named on La Liste World’s Best Restaurants.

Chef-owner Michael and his kitchen brigade craft tasting and à la carte menus loaded with local flavours from land and sea. Immaculately plated dishes include the likes of chicken and truffle mousseline with Wye Valley asparagus, Scottish girolles and Madeira cream sauce. Dine in one of three exquisite rooms named after views across the estuary: Powderham, Mamhead and Berry Head.

The experience is incomplete without sampling artfully matched sips from the Manor’s world-class cellar. The list includes award-winning wines such as a Classic Cuvée and Triassic Pinot Noir from Lympstone’s own 11-acre vineyard.

Beyond spectacular dining there are numerous other delights, such as a stay in a beautiful room, suite or shepherd’s hut, a game of tennis or a wander through the sculpture garden.

Trencherman’s tip

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, with its views across the vineyard and the Exe Estuary, before a casual bite to eat at the Pool House Restaurant and Bar.
